Your Placerville electrician, for old homes and new
Placerville is the heart of El Dorado County, where Highway 50 meets Highway 49, from Historic Main Street up toward Apple Hill and the homes spread through the foothills. We are a straight shot up the highway, so the county seat is a regular part of our service area.
A lot of Placerville homes carry some age, which often means an undersized panel, dated wiring, and not enough capacity for how people live now. We handle panel upgrades, rewiring, and the backup power that really matters when a foothill storm takes the grid down for a while.
Every job is permitted and inspected where it needs to be, and we walk you through what we found and what we recommend before any work starts.
